hey guys, this is my current machine
HP Pavilion p6-2302ea Desktop PC Product Specifications HP Pavilion p6-2302ea Desktop PC | HP® Support
now my hard drive got corrupted and i didnt know what to do to recover my stuff so gave it to the computer shop to which i said do not re-install windows but just recover my data and you guy select the recovery option that i had on the system but from the looks of things on the link..it says i couldnt have reinstalled it anyway as it was an oem windows key.
theyv installed windows 8.1 for me, i had 8 previously but im slightly afraid that theyv installed pirated copy and got a product key elsewhere which wasnt my original product key that i had
what i wanted to ask was:
1) on a oem machine can i found out what my previous product key was, even aftr the re-install?
2) i dont think the install or the product key is geniune but im hoping you guys can school me on this, i just want a legit computer running, if this isnt the case shall i buy another product key if thats possible?
please help guys...my mind isnt resting over ths for some odd reason lol
cheers guys
